The real mushroom season is finally getting underway here in Colorado. Lots of different things are coming up. In about 2 hours I found mushrooms from Amanita, Boletus, Clitocybe, Inocybe, Agaricus, Tricholoma, Russula, Hygrophorus, Cortinarius, Suillus, and Leccinum, and that's just the ones I bothered to actually look close enough to put a genus to. There were a lot of mushrooms I didn't bother with at all.

Rather than make a giant slide show, here are 3 of the more interesting finds today:

First, these guys that are close to Amanita pantherina (I haven't done any micro work on them yet) are coming up all over the place.

Next, we have an unusual mushroom that I've only found once before - Tricholoma sulphureum. These mushrooms *reek*! I doubt if they'd smell worse if they were actually made of shit.

Finally, what I was hoping I'd find. This is Boletus barrowsii, one of the best edible mushrooms around.

nice white king you've got there. i'm hoping to find some more the next time i go for a hunt. once again, great pics.

TM: in your collections of B. barrowsii, how far down the stipe do the reticulations usualy descend?

i asked because the onse i've found this season in idaho have reticulations descending the entire stipe, or very nearly so. just wondering if this is common in your experience.
